10 Interesting Tips On Vegetables - Dr. Berg On Veggies

[@DTDProductionsInc]

A farmer let my family know that when you buy asparagus (fresh from the farm or store bought) you should cut the stems and place them in a vase with water on the counter. They will continue to grow for weeks and will not wilt. They do not like the fridge. Thought I’d let you know.

[@naphtaliquisenberry2566]

That’s a really interesting tip! Thanks for sharing!

One of my favorite parts about the summertime is all the fresh local produce that people grow in their gardens - quite often you can get it without any nasty chemicals added to it. I can do without the heat and humidity, though.

The only Doctor I need today is Dr. Berg. It is so wonderful eating good homemade food. Never felt better in my life and the tips I get from Dr. Berg help me to be even more healthy. Thank you Dr. Berg! Thumbs up! Love 4Truth!

[@naphtaliquisenberry2566]

I love these tips!! I really do!! The only difference of opinion that I’ve found is that when I spray my veggies with water and then put them in the fridge, they tend to go bad quicker. I’ve found that if I put them in the fridge without washing them, they last longer. Then I’ll wash them before preparing my meals.

[@Spirit_Architect]

You can also dehydrate them below 45°C/118f

[@6toolbaseball]

I love roasting vegetables in the oven because of the taste. I guess I should do more pan frying and adding them into smoothies.

[@Drberg]

Same here!

[@namratagoswami751]

Thank you for the interesting and useful facts. Many times we think we are getting the most out of our vegetables even after modifying the way we eat them, but we're actually missing out some nutrients in the process of the modification.

[@TheChicoism]

Dr. Berg...I've read some articles indicating raw cruciferous vegetables can cause thyroid issues. Can you let us know your stance on that please? Thank you for all of your amazing work.

[@JustHereToHear]

He does say in one of his videos that it MAY be bad for thyroid. Per my memory, he mentions that thyroid issues are mostly caused by high levels of estrogen which disrupts the thyroid function and in such a case, cruciferous vegetables like cabbage and cauliflower can help lower the bad estrogen and balance things out, thus helping the thyroid. On the other hand, there are studies that say cabbage and cauliflower have a role in blocking thyroid function, causing thyroid issues. Dr Berg does acknowledge this bit of research, but he mentions it in only one video. So if you were worried about the thyroid, I would recommend steering clear of cabbage and cauliflower, and look to other estrogen balancing food.

[@JustHereToHear]

Personally, I don't get kale in my country and spinach is good but got to balance out the oxalates. Lettuce is expensive, and avocados not easily available. I tried eating loads of cabbage, being a star league veggie and all that, but after about 3 days the area around my throat felt kinda tight and I backed off it. Glad I did.

[@amyhoang9140]

Based on my research, cabbage depletes iodine. Iodine helps the thyroid to balance your hormone. So if you eat cruciferous veggies, you may want to supplement iodine. You can get iodine in liquid form on Amazon or health food stores and rub some on your belly button, or neck.

[@gf4353]

Add frozen or fresh cranberry s. Lots of iodine

[@naphtaliquisenberry2566]

@Amy Hoang - interesting! I agree that we need iodine. I try to buy sea salt with iodine. :)

[@Baldrick_dogsbody]

If you freeze cucumbers, tomato's, lettuce, will they not go bad filled with water ? Also how are you supposed to unfreeze them ? Once you unfreeze them you see that all the ice has gone into the veg and now they are a ball of water ! So any tips ? Also, what are cruciferous vegetables ? And how are you meant to eat the outer parts of onions ? It's just crispy dirty skin ?

[@karlmilde]

Is steaming vegetables ok? I find them easier to eat when softened a little bit

[@XXXmar123]

Yes of course. Why wouldnt it be? Steaming is probably the healthiest and best way to eat veggies.

[@carmenjimenez4459]

Yes especially broccoli 🥦 and spinach is best lightly steamed

[@arifali6762]

Always helpful and always great info. God bless you Doctor.

[@Intrepid_Insomniac]

Dr Berg, what is your take on microwaving veggies? I am a busy mom and I briefly steam my broccoli in the microwave to eat it. Do you think this destroys the nutrients? Thank you!

[@Frissdas1207]

Tom is incorrect, the disillusion that microwaving foods is unhealthy for you is hysterical. Just so that you're aware Kristin, talking on your cell phone or even having it near you emits more radiation into your body in a year than you'll probably ever get because of a microwave in your lifetime. Frozen vegetables are often more fresh than fresh vegetables as funny as that sounds. Frozen veggies are plucked at their prime then flash frozen immediately. "fresh veggies" are farmed prematurely.. before they actually reach their peak of nutrition so that they look more fresh and appealing on shelves. You're totally fine and safe to microwave veggies.

[@trueheart6283]

Kristin Bertram yes those microwave rays are not good

[@MaTriXzvR]

microwaving basically nukes all the nutrients of the food thats being heated. yea it might take 10 years to get cancer from it but you wont be getting proper nutrients at all forever

Dr. Berg, can you make a video about combining high amounts of fats with high amounts of carbs - like say, a burger and fries. If your insulin spikes (from eating high carbs), are the fat calories also stored as fat by insulin?

[@piosenki001]

That's why I think bread with butter is a terrible combination.

[@jonathanrichards5024]

i thought protein with carbs is super insulin time.

[@yoork88]

a burger and fries = high carb, high protein, high fat + high trans-fats + high additives (!!) = super-high insulin level. surely, all can go ezzily into ya fatcells.

[@ChuckCoy]

They are an important source of iron.

[@Sigridovskij]

Corning Vision glass pots for cooking ON the stovetop. Gas is the healthiest source for cooking, comes shortly after wood stove. Electric stove is not so good. Radiation is harmful. Sharp japanese knives are best for vegetables - keep them alive. The Masahiro is probably the one that keeps sharpest, the longest - Masahiro carbon steel, is also not expensive. Shopping board, always in wood, saves the knife blade and is antibacterial. Towels in hemp, last longer and take in moist the best and are anti-bacterial. Grain grinder with real stone that don't powder flour all over and lasts two lifetimes: Samap from France, Samap 100 or Samap 50. There are bigger ones for bakeries too.

Really been looking at different options and i think it will make life so much easier being able to make things like Mash, Roasted "potatoe", fries etc. There so much options for bread but no ones speaking about these alternatives. Swede Jicama Celeriac Zucchini (For fries) Kohlrabi These all can be made from my research to close resembme potatoe. Theres even recipies with Swede, cauliflower and carrot to make a mash tats still loe in carbs. If Keto is going to be lifetime i want it o make sense. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE look into these and let us know if their safe to have in our keto diet (based on the nutritional info they look safe) Thanks!!

[@Intrepid_Insomniac]

Have you tried cauliflower? I use that as a potato alternative in most of my recipes and it works great. Mashed cauliflower is delicious if you season it right!

[@JackTheStrippa]

Kristin Bertram Cauliflow has 3g net carbs whilst Jicama has 5g and daikon radish has 6 gram net carbs (100g measurements) So its reallt not that far off at all. And Although cauliflow can make good mash the consistency is not as good as mash with these other veggies. Cauliflower will also not make good fries or a roasted potatoe alternative. Hence the question. The cauliflower mash does have good consistency though ans does taste nice.
